(1)
A(a,-a²),B((a+1),-(a+1)²)
该抛物线的对称轴为y轴,C与B关于y轴对称,C(-(a+1),-(a+1)²)
CB= (a+1)+(a+1) = 2(a+1)
CB上的高h为A,B纵坐标之差,h = -a² +(a+1)² = 2a+1
s = (1/2)*2(a+1)*(2a+1) = (a+1)(2a+1)
(2) s = 15
(a+1)(2a+1) = 15
(2a+7)(a-2) = 0
a = 2 (-7/2 < 0 舍去)
(3)△ABC和△ACD在CD(或CB)上的高均为2a+1,要使△ACD的面积为8(s的8/15),只需CD:CB = 8:15即可.
CB= 2(a+1) = 6
CD:CB = x :6 = 8:15
x = 16/5
C(-3,-9)
D纵坐标:-3 + 16/5 = 1/5
D(1/5,-9)
